If founders and different enterprise leaders weren’t already envious of Dario Amodei, who sits atop one of many world’s fastest-growing AI firms — at present valued by non-public market buyers at roughly the trillion-dollar mark little greater than 5 years after it was based — they’re going to be significantly envious now.
